Damage Assessment Revisited
Wednesday, June 6, 2007

Well, the sore hip is extremely sore today... walking down the front steps was an exercise in pain, and it wasn't thrilled during my bike ride to work, though it did seem to loosen up a bit as I rode.

So this afternoon it's ice pack time and maybe light stretching time, and other than the quick ride home, no biking today. Right now I suspect I'm not running the Yellowjacket Powerbar trail race over at Mendon Saturday morning - all those hills would just aggravate my leg, and I'd rather skip this one and hopefully be able to run some of the races later in the month (Greylock, Summer Solstice, and Harborfest, specifically!)

But even if I don't run I will go over to the park to get my shirt (I should get something for my registration fee) and to give my well-wishes to Jim Fryer, who is running the 9 mile race as his first ever trail race and first ever 9 miler!
